2022 Planning Session Part Three

All right, everybody. Hey, I want to share with you guys a story real quick because, you know, I love stories. This, um, playing small brunette in this picture is me in, um, 2015. I want to share this picture with you guys because it can be really easy to go Yeah, Val. Okay, it's easy for you to talk about rocking out your goals. It's easy for you to talk about, you know, hitting a $50,000 or $100,000 or $200,000 year, right? It's easy for you to do it because you're who you are. And I want to remind you guys not to compare your chapter 1, your chapter 2, your chapter 5, your chapter 15 to my chapter, whatever I'm on, right? Because this is how it started. I started coaching in 2013 because I come from a family that has had a lot of stuff, right? A lot of stuff. I had a family member that was going through some mental illness that rocked everyone's world. It rocked my world. I was, gosh, I don't know, maybe $40,000, $50,000 in debt. I was, um, 28 years old, 29 years old, and I was not even able to sign a lease to live in an apartment because I had destroyed, really sabotaged my life. I'd gone from making, you know, having multiple 6 figures in my bank account to one point living in my car because I was too full of pride to ask for help. So I found myself in this, this situation where I was not knowing what to do with a family member who was going through some really hard stuff. Mental illness is not, you know, it's, it's the unseen illness. And I found myself wondering, you know, I was in the ER with this person for 6 hours. We were in this room because, again, mental illness isn't seen. Mental illness isn't seen. Right. So I remember asking myself, like, what If at 20 years old, this person had been told that they could have a life? What if at 30 years old, 40 years old, 50 years old, this person was told that they had a choice, that they could take power and strength in their own life, that they could be something? And I knew in that moment, I was like, that is my life purpose. I'm gonna be that for someone else. I'm gonna be that. And I knew in that moment, like, I could continue on my life playing small. I want to look at you guys. I could continue doing life. Holding back, floundering, wondering what my purpose is, going from job to job to job, climbing this corporate ladder. And you know, the funny thing about, in my experience, this isn't everyone's experience. But you know, for me, it's like I was, I was climbing this corporate ladder, and I would get to the top. And I would look around and be like, I don't even want this. I don't even want this, right? Like on the outside, I had all the things, the the office, the title, the prestige, the income, all of these things. But I was looking around going like, I still feel empty. I would cry at the end of. I'd be putting my head on the pillow at the end of the day and like be crying. I should feel. So much better. I should be so much further. I should this. I should that. I should this. Like who else shoulds on themselves? Right? Like am I right? And I felt like I'm like what's wrong with me that I have all these things and I should be happy, but I still feel empty. Right? And I remember in that moment feeling like I can continue this. I've I have one of two choices. I can continue to move forward. And like, I saw what it looked like. I saw these women who were, you know, 20 years older than me. I'm sitting in like high-level management meetings and hearing the gossip. I had the woman who hired me had told me At this point, that picture I just told you, showed you guys. She told me, she goes, I'm too afraid. We had to like meet in parking lots. You guys, this is so crazy when I think about it now. We would meet in parking lots because the owner of the company would put, would hide listening devices in the office to see if we were talking about him and one of the other people that worked in the office. They were having an affair and he would like, he was paranoid that we were talking about it. We all knew, but he was paranoid we were talking about it. And so like, this is the type of environment I worked in, in like a professional corporate job. The woman who hired me would either like be backstabbing me, trying to sabotage me. And she ended up telling me in a parking lot one day that she was afraid to teach me what she knows because she thought that as soon as I got trained up, that she would be fired because that's how she got her job, right? And the reason why I share this is because like, you know, in that I was realizing that like, I don't want this. If this is what life's about, like, I don't even want this, right? And I remember thinking like, there's got to be more. There's got to be more to life than paying these bills, than going to this job that I honestly like hate. There's got to be more than gossiping about each other and like tearing each other down and talking about customers. You know, we worked with a very specific clientele that, in my opinion, there we, you know, we should have been loving and pouring into them. And there was like, you know, like people making fun of people and like, you know, it just, it did not feel good for me. And I was like, you know, there's got to be more. There's got to be more. Over the past 2 years, there's been more companies shutting their doors. And I heard a statistic like 6 months ago, so who knows with like this new round of things that are happening, that over 50% of companies that shut their doors during the pandemic will never reopen. I don't know about you, but that shakes me to my core. I am not okay with that, and that's what drives my passion today. That's what drives me to teach you right now today how to hit your goals, because let me tell you, I do not believe in competition. I believe in collaboration, and the cool part about being in business together. Is that there's plenty of room. There's plenty of clients. There's plenty of money out there. There's plenty of people who are looking for you and need what you have to bring to the world. So that is why I'm so passionate about this, and that's why I want to show you guys that you know what? Back then, that that girl that I just showed you that picture. I can barely even recognize that person who played small, that person who held back, that person who played a corporate role and was afraid to bring what I had to offer to the world. Because you guys, I'm telling you right now, which seems so ridiculous to me, the story I was telling myself was that everybody knows how to market because that's my background. I used to have a marketing agency in my 20s where I was traveling the Pacific Northwest. I was working with Jewel, the singer. I did her VIP shows. I have worked with Brooks and Dunn. I didn't even know who they were when I got hired with them. I don't know. I was like, Kix and Ronnie, who's that? I've worked with Nike, the Lance Armstrong Foundation. I've worked with T-Mobile. I've worked with, you know, very big companies. Dr Pepper Cherry. I've worked with the Susan Komen Foundation, like huge companies. And so the story I was telling myself was like, nobody's going to pay me to do this. Nobody needs this. Nobody— like, everyone knows how to do this, right? So if you're thinking that right now, just know that what you have to offer the world, only you can bring it. in the way that you bring it. And just know that, you know, whatever, you know, wherever, whatever chapter you're in right now, there are people right now, there are people who went to sleep last night praying for the solution that only you can offer them. And I want you to really feel that. I want you to really feel that, that you've been given a unique gift, a unique calling, a unique passion, a unique purpose to fulfill other people's dreams. And if you were to believe that, how would you show up in 2022? If you really not just like heard that, but you let yourself be that, be that, choose that, because it's true, is 100% true. Okay guys, who's ready to go all in? Who's ready for your breakthrough? And who is ready to be that? Who's ready to show up in the energy and in the space that, yeah, this is not just a business, this is my gift to the world? Who's ready to show up in that? We put together a Breakthrough in 2022 bundle. This is an over $700 value. What we are going to do is I'm going to give you my signature ascension plan.
